Monday today and it’s time for the fruits and veggies Monday created by @lenasveganliving.
This week I want to share with Lena and all the wonderful steemers that follow her, a walk around my farm.
Lets start with the apricot trees. Such a tastefull fruit but the cause of a big conflict for me. The mice that live around here believe that the crop is theirs and I believe exactly the same thing :)
And the plum trees, the spring fruit that sends away the remaining winter threads and prepares our taste for the summer treats! I expect the cherry plums to be ripe in 2-3 weeks.
The almonds are still fresh. You can eat them without peeling them. A special treat as it is and a great nut to preserve for the winter.
The pears are on the verge of the transformation from blossom to fruit. I have to wait till the first days of July for a bite.
Of course July and August are the fig months! Nothing more to say. Just wait!
It’s time to check the vineyard. The formation of the grapes just began but the harvest is in 5 months. Patience…
Did you know that walnut trees don’t like pruning? Today we can see the first leaves and some male flowers. The picking of walnuts takes place in the middle of September.
The next picture fits best to the what is it game! Can you guess? We are at the carob trees! A very special food that is not very popular. We use it mostly as carob flour. Excellent for bread, cake or cookies!
And now the pomegranate trees. My favourite fruit. I can spent two or three days in October eating nothing more than pomegranates, as a self cleaning treatment. Just excellent!
And last but not least the olive trees. Here we can see the first blossom of the most important harvest of the island and the superior of all food!
All the pictures were taken by me with my Canon EOS 7D with a Canon EF-S 60mm f/2.8 USM Macro Lens attached.
I hope you enjoyed the walk :)
